Acton Taipei is accredited through the International Association of Learner Driven Schools (IALDS), based in the United States. This accreditation indicates formal recognition within the IALDS framework for learner-driven schools and places Acton Taipei within the network of Acton-affiliated campuses.
The school does not publish any awards it has won on its website in the past five years. Public recognition shown on the site consists of media features rather than awards (Forbes, Getting Smart, EdSurge, Inc., Fast Company, NPR). These are media citations, not awards granted to the school.

The campus is in Beitou District, with the elementary studio a short walk from Xinbeitou MRT Station and the middle/high school studio a short walk from Guting MRT Station.
